Is300 Vs Is200

Recommended Posts

The fuel consumption is terrible around town. It really is much more thirsty than the IS200. As soon as you get above 50mph and turn cruise on there is very little difference. I am getting about 420 miles per tank where as I used to get 450.

I run my IS300 on Optimax and Ive never managed to get more than 350 miles out of a tankful..... :angry:

I use the cruise control a lot!

You can drive more ecomonically manually rather than using cruise.

Doesn't that mean that you become one of those annoying road users who cannot keep to a constant speed and end up slowing to 40mph at the slightest gradient? :winky:

My IS300 is starting to handle very nervously and twitchy on roads at speeds below 60mph, it seems to bump-steer and throw me from side to side when travelling in a straight line, not forgetting to mention the poor tyre wear. Had the thing laser aligned too :duh:
